> the design goal is not to maximise interactions The design (not sure about its goal) maximizes incentive for medium-complexity ideas being expressed in comments with at most a handful of replies. The “comments on a submission with ranking based on votes” model is fundamentally unsuited for in-depth, thoughtful discussions. Everything we write in this comment section will be mostly forgotten by tomorrow because there is no notification system for when someone replies to your comments. Zero people are going back through old submissions more than a day or two old and looking for insightful comments to reply to.
